MUSCAT – According to case details, the consumer had contracted the establishment to install a kitchen for an agreed amount, paying part of the sum in advance. However, the company failed to carry out the installation as stipulated in the contract and did not honour the terms of the agreement.

The court ruled in favour of the consumer, sentencing the establishment’s representative to one year’s imprisonment and imposing a fine of RO 1,000. The court also ordered the representative to refund RO 1,000 – the value of the service – to the civil claimant, in addition to bearing the expenses of the public lawsuit.
